Load Research System

Product Description

Itron’s Load Research System (LRS) supports a variety of load research processes, including sample design, sample selection, data transformation, sample expansion, and calibration of class loads to overall system loads. The Load Research System automates and streamlines the complex process of sampling and analyzing large quantities of load data. With its advanced graphical interface, users can design, track and maintain load research samples and estimate customer load profiles with exceptional accuracy and confidence.

Features & Benefits

Utilizing the latest Microsoft® .NET technology, the Load Research System is the first load research system specifically designed for the Microsoft Windows environment. LRS provides you with the advantages of an easy-to-use graphical user interface, automated processes and powerful reporting capabilities. The system allows analysts to view input data and estimation results in a variety of powerful statistical views, providing improved capability to detect and resolve problems. Developing efficient statistical samples and estimating customer load profiles with the Load Research System is fast and easy. Most importantly, the Load Research System provides confidence that your results are accurate.

Itron’s Load Research System includes a Sample Design module that allows you to design, track and maintain your load research samples. Data analysis tools include graphical inspection and statistical reports, making validation and editing a snap. At the core of the Load Research System is a complete set of tools for managing, viewing and transforming interval data. The Sample Expansion module allows you to define expansion rules with detailed calculation settings. You can apply these rules to one or more profile classes and can define separate rules for ad hoc domains analysis. Once profiles are generated, the results can be combined, aggregated and analyzed within the system.

Itron’s Load Research System integrates seamlessly with other Itron solutions including MV-90 xi, Itron Enterprise Edition, and the Itron forecasting tools MetrixND®, MetrixIDR™ Retail and MetrixIDR System Operations.

When you use the Load Research System, you can:

  • Design and implement efficient samples
  • Optimize sample precision or minimize cost
  • Track precision and know where to put additional points
  • Access your data quickly and perform advanced analysis
  • Ensure confidence in analysis results with improved data visibility and diagnostics
  • Support standard statistical analysis processes
  • Provide quick turn-around for ad hoc analysis
  • Empower users with powerful reporting and exporting of inputs and statistical results
  • Maximize efficiencies by automating complex processes
  • Minimize training for existing and new staff
